Cheaper Xbox One set for 2014 release, report claims

4.5
Information contained in forum 'leak' verified by multiple publications

A new, cheaper Xbox One SKU will be released in 2014, a growing number of reports have suggested.

The claim first emerged via a whistle blowing NeoGAF post, which suggested that Microsoft is planning a new $399 Xbox One model, possibly minus a physical disc drive.

nformation contained in the post has since been verified by multiple publishing sources cited by CVG, The Verge and VG247, that latter of which credits "trusted publishing partners" as verifying the new Xbox One SKU, which it says will be cheaper than the current $499 USD / £420 model.

Although the original NeoGAF post states the new Xbox model may be released without an optical disc drive, this has not been verified by any publication.

It has also been claimed that Microsoft will be releasing a white Xbox One in October, to tie in with the release of Sunset Overdrive, as well as a special Titanfall edition of its new console in March. The white Xbox One rumour has been backed up by sources cited to tech site The Verge.

Lia It's funny how so many people liked the black 360 more than the white one and now it's the opposite for the Xbox One.


that's very ironic really. people just want to be different I suppose.
OT: I hope so the Next-Gens are very expensive.


It's just like iPhone's, lol. I liked my white iPhone until I wanted a black one.


The same thing happened to me.

I honestly think it looks nice white, I have gotten the black Xbox One about 1 day ago and I love it but I also like the color of this, and in my opinion I think that's why Xbox One lost sales because of the price, hopefully we can gain our sales back by dropping the price to $400, so I can say that's a good thing.
